$A$ river is flowing at a speed of $5\, km/h$ in a particular direction. $A$ man,who can swim at a speed of $20\, km/h$ in still water,starts swimming along the direction of flow of the river from point $A$ and reaches another point $B$ which is at a distance of $30\, km$ from the starting point $A$. On reaching point $B$,the man turns back and starts swimming against the direction of flow of the river and stops after reaching point $A$. The total time taken by the man to complete his journey is:

$A$ man can row a boat at a speed of $8\, km/h$ in still water. He was rowing the boat downstream from one point to another. After travelling half of the distance,the motor of the boat failed. He continued to drift along the stream and reached his destination,taking $6\, hours$ more than the usual time. The speed of the stream is $2\, km/h$. What is the total distance between the two points in $km$?

$A$ boat travels upstream from $B$ to $A$ and downstream from $A$ to $B$ in $3$ $hours$. If the speed of the boat in still water is $9\, km/h$ and the speed of the current is $3\, km/h$,the distance between $A$ and $B$ is........$km$.
